For the Cause
Love the last lines… Let it be my life’s refrain: To live is Christ, to die is gain; Deny myself, take up my cross And follow the Son For The Cause For the cause of Christ the King We give our lives, an offering Till all the earth resounds with ceaseless praise To the Son […]
Hands On
1 Timothy 5:22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure. The word “hasty” caught my attention the other day. I was watching some brothers and sisters in Christ jump to an individuals aid and start laying on hands and prayer. I […]
With age wisdom
How do you react to bullies on social media? Do you ignore? Do you attack? Do you just laugh at them? Do you pray for them? Do you read scripture at them? Do you delete/un-follow/unfriend them? Do you respond with a blatant ‘in your face blog post?” 😀 As a pastor dealing with the often […]
Lord With glowing heart I praise thee
Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee, For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows: Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. Praise, my […]
Faith On
Faith is not a meritorious work. It is never the ground of justification—it is simply the channel through which it is received and it, too, is a gift. — John MacArthur Ever hit something so deep it just puts your mind out of wack? This was it for me last night. Faith is a condition […]
Why Should I Sorrow More?
WHY should I sorrow more? I trust a Savior slain, And safe beneath His sheltering cross Unmoved I shall remain. Let Satan and the world, Ever my heart allure; The promises in Christ are made Unchangeable and sure. The oath infallible Is now my spirit’s trust; I know that He Who spoke the word, Is […]
Beneath the Cross
Beneath the cross of Jesus I find a place to stand, And wonder at such mercy That calls me as I am; For hands that should discard me Hold wounds which tell me, “Come.” Beneath the cross of Jesus My unworthy soul is won. Beneath the cross of Jesus His family is my own— Once […]
For the Sake of His Name
Go to the world for the sake of His name; To every nation His glory proclaim. Pray that the Spirit wise Will open darkened eyes, Granting new life to display Jesus’ fame. Refrain: In Jesus’ power, preach Christ to the lost; For Jesus’ glory, count all else but loss. Gather from every place Trophies of […]
I Run to Christ
I run to Christ when chased by fear And find a refuge sure. “Believe in me,” His voice I hear; His words and wounds secure. I run to Christ when torn by grief And find abundant peace. “I too had tears,” He gently speaks; Thus joy and sorrow meet. I run to Christ when worn […]
Contemplation Psalm 36
Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Psalm 36:5 When all truth on earth has faded and man has let you down. Where else can we look but to our Lord? How often we are left with no trust in ourselves and no trust in strength. That we […]
